There's a mix of good and bad information here. Your dissent of breakouts as "the worst strategy out there" is silly and speaks a bit to your being focused soley on what you do. Personally, I don't trade breakouts often, but, I know they work given the correct approach. This reminds me of a...

You have to understand things like impatience, impulsiveness, situations of fear, and so on. Once you begin trading with real money you will know what I'm talking about. Once the market wacks you you'll remember it and it will weigh on you. You will start equating a current setup to the one...

cold, like I said, I don't doubt this shit goes on but it's not something any trader should be worried about. There are bigger obstacles to finding your way than worrying about the broker stealing your method. Heck, if I owned a brokerage firm I'd fade every noob that walked in the door and...

I dear you to walk into a securities attorney's office and ask him to "tweak the system a bit." He will likely have his security department toss you out on the street. You think an attorney is going to sacrifice his career so he can tweak the system for you and do it for free? Double time LOL

No problem NYX. Good Trading!

You can't navigate your way around the system. Simply can't be done and if you are then it just means you are breaking the law.

Damn good guesses NYX! You're right on both acts. These are both found in the Subscription documents. Additionally, you have to do a Private Placement Memorandum and an Operating Agreement. Also, more proof that Tudor isn't doing what he states he's is doing....a broker will not even open an...

If you are running as a partnership and managing money in activities other than investing you are a hedge fund. Unless, of course, you don't take direct possesion of your investors funds. If I remember correctly, you stated the funds are in one account and if that is the case, and you satisfy...

Hey Tudor, I got a few questions for you. What are the three main documents a hedge fund is required to present to investors? In one of these documents an investor and manager have to certify they aren't breaking two major governmental acts. What are they? I'll give you a hint, they both...

cold, WTF are you talking about? see me for example, I took steps needed to confuse the broker with 3 accounts, and purposeful controlled losses---->> Confuse your broker? The last thing this guy needs to do is confuse his broker. You think the broker is out there spying on his activity...

Man, do I feel your pain!! Better you than me.

Buy an external backup drive. Load everything you need saved on there and reinstall windows like the other responders mentioned. I format my hard drive on my surfing machine on a regular basis. It's like getting a new machine.

Good call out here Reaver. TJ didn't know about Blue Sky, didn't know about AUM, didn't know an LP is the same as a hedge fund, claims to be the best trader ever, then humbly admitted his record wasn't all that stellar but was still quite good considering his age. Did I miss anything? Oh, I'm...

Batman, you need some serious medication!

LOL

25 mg Benadryl. I have a rough time falling asleep but once I'm out I'm good. The Benadryl does the trick.

This is exactly what brokerage firms did right before the crash in 1929. None of the major brokerage firms collapsed when the market crashed because of the drastic change in margin rules they made at the time. Kudo's to IB for doing their research. They are just trying to ensure they will be...

I have studied this indicator over the years and I found it to be EXTREMELY reliable at signaling bottoms. The last time this happened was October 2002. I could be wrong, but I think in his book he said it was a 10:1 advancers to decliners he was looking for.

Agree with you that 50% return comes with 50%, or perhaps even more, risk. However, 20% drawdown in a hedge fund is quite normal. Hedge funds are much more risky than mutual funds so large deviations between monthly or yearly returns is a natural course of the business. A top notch hedge fund...

Good post Tommy, If the OP is trading fut's he can trade for up to 15 clients and up to $400k without registering. If it's stocks then I don't know the numbers. When I first got started I waived the 2% management fee, and just went with a performance fee of 20%. This was a courtesy I...
